Chapter 394: With gossip to eat with, everyone's meal was much more fragrant

~8 min read 1,450 words

Although Gu Tingchen is now the director of the Railway Bureau, he still travels by bicycle on weekdays, smiling at his neighbors, and is famously approachable.

"Ding-a-ling."

Today, he rode his bike to work as usual, but he didn't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that there was a prying gaze following him in the dark.

He also thought about counter-reconnaissance, but the other party was clearly an expert.

No matter what means he used, he didn't catch anyone.

Instead, he delayed time and was almost late.

Perhaps because he had things on his mind, he was absent-minded all morning.

When his subordinates saw this, they cared about him, but he shifted the topic without anyone noticing.

"Director, there is an exclusive interview this afternoon, which needs to be filmed and recorded. Do you think the interview location should be in the office or somewhere else?"

"Just arrange it in the office. Notify the staff of other departments to maintain a highly professional appearance and be ready for random interviews at any time."

"Received!"

After arranging the work, time soon reached noon.

Gu Tingchen went to the cafeteria to eat, with the same dishes as the staff, not being special at all.

Being approachable and getting close to the grassroots was the fastest way for him to stand firm in the unit.

Many staff members greeted him after seeing him—

"Director Gu, good."

"Director Gu."

"Director Gu."

Responding to them was the director's approachable smile; for some reason, they always felt it was fake.

Yes, it was fake.

The former Director Liu was very majestic; although he would sometimes go to the grassroots, he rarely smiled and always felt very majestic, making people awe from the bottom of their hearts.

The current Director Gu, although more approachable and almost rooted in the grassroots, his smile always felt like a fake person.

It made people feel hairy in their hearts and unable to feel awe from the bottom of their hearts.

Maybe they were thinking too much?

After Gu Tingchen finished eating the tasteless food and left, the atmosphere in the cafeteria suddenly lightened.

Invisibly, everyone had a consensus: when the director was there, they didn't dare to speak loudly, let alone relax and discuss gossip...

"Hey, how do you think Director Gu was promoted?"

"Does this still need to be said? Isn't it just Director Liu retiring and giving up the position to the worthy?"

"No, I heard that Director Gu used to be a guard for that person, and later after that person passed away..."

"Really or fake?"

"True!"

With gossip to eat with, everyone's meal was much more fragrant!

Wu Jianguo, under Lao Mo's recommendation, soon met the distribution managers of the food processing factory and the canned fruit factory.

They successfully signed the order contract, paid 50% of the payment in cash, and reached preliminary cooperation.

Lao Mo's look at Wu Jianguo was different; it was a look of "Big Boss is awesome," worship!

Well, of course, he was acting.

Wu Jianguo ate this set, calling him "Brother Mo" every sentence; if Lao Mo hadn't stopped him, the other party would have wanted to take him to the state-run restaurant for a meal!

"Why don't we go to eat farmhouse fun, which is to make seafood barbecue at a fellow villager's house? I guarantee it will be delicious!"

"Fine, then let's eat farmhouse fun."

Wu Jianguo accomplished one thing and sat down his identity as a purchaser. He was happy in his heart and prepared to promote the second thing. Drinking some wine at the dinner table would make it easier to probe!

Because the sun was shining on the Sea Island, Zhang Hongxiu's skin was peeling. Loving beauty, she was too lazy to go out during the day, so she didn't go together, preparing to sleep a beauty sleep in the guesthouse room.

Of course, the excuse was that she was tired last night, her body was uncomfortable, so she wouldn't go out.

Wu Jianguo, although he had the idea of dumping this woman, still had to use her, so he pretended to be considerate and agreed.

Just like that, Lao Mo and Wu Jianguo hooked shoulders and backs, looking like brothers, and found a fellow villager's house with a barbecue grill to start picking seafood...

It was a coincidence that the son and daughter of this fellow villager's house were Xiao Hai and his sister Yue Ya'er.

Xiao Hai had also been a guide for the past two years, specifically leading the way for tourists.

If there was an introduction, there was work; if there was no recommendation, there was no work. When there was no work, he would catch the sea by the beach, preparing to save money to send his sister to school.

It didn't matter if he didn't have culture; he could rely on strength to work. It was better for his sister to have more knowledge. Because he had intersections with Sister Manman, he more or less knew Lao Mo, and later, when he encountered seafood with good quality, he would secretly sell it to Lao Mo's restaurant to exchange for some coupons.

The two eyes met briefly, and Xiao Hai kept an eye on it, not showing any signs of being familiar with each other.

As a local, he had lived by the sea since he was a child and had heard many stories from his elders.

Among them were stories about undercover agents, spies, and so on.

"Brother, I've finished the first thing, and only the second thing is left. I don't know if there is any news? I'm afraid I won't be able to stay on the Sea Island for a few days."

"Brother Jianguo, to tell you the truth, the information you gave is relatively small. I can only entrust people I know to do their best, and I still have to wait. As soon as there is news, I will tell you."

"Hey, it's me who is making things difficult for you, but my relative is really old, and he has only one wish: to find his nephew, see him once, and die without regrets."

"Do your best, listen to destiny, don't worry, there will definitely be news."

Lao Mo played Tai Chi, not saying it was dead, nor saying it was found all at once.

Finding it too fast and too easily, if the other party was vigilant, he wouldn't be able to catch the pigtail.

"Come, come, brother, we met as if we had known each other for a long time. If you have time to travel to the Capital in the future, you must tell me; I will definitely do my best as a host!"

Wu Jianguo also knew that he was too hasty, so in order not to let the other party suspect, he immediately opened a bottle of white wine.

The two waited for the barbecue to be cooked and sent over, while drinking and talking about the world, and the friendship soon arrived.

Without knowing it, the two drank four bottles of wine with the barbecue!

At first, the two were evenly matched, and their drinking capacity was not bad.

Later, Xiao Hai helped pour wine and secretly changed Lao Mo's wine to boiled water!

Wu Jianguo didn't know where it was, so he was drinking white wine seriously.

As the saying goes, a confidant is less than a thousand cups; he was on top!

Claiming to be drunk after a thousand cups, he was really drunk!

It can be said that of the four bottles of white wine, he drank three by himself!

Lao Mo only drank one bottle, which was considered a good time, and did the right thing.

"Hey, wake up, Brother Jianguo, shall we continue?"

"Snore."

"Brother Jianguo?"

"Snore."

Lao Mo lifted the other party's eyelid and confirmed that the other party was really drunk, then turned to Xiao Hai and said:

"The remaining wine is a thank-you gift, I'll give it to you."

"Thanks, Uncle Mo."

Xiao Hai smiled knowingly and accepted the remaining two bottles of white wine in the box without hesitation.

These are good things; whether it's for his grandfather to drink or to exchange for money in the future, they are hard currency!

Lao Mo dragged the person into the tricycle and drove toward the military region.

It was hard to get him drunk, so why go back to the guesthouse?

Isn't it good to send him to the interrogation room for Jiang Ye to interrogate? ===== CHAPTER 395 =====

Wouldn't it be better to send them to the interrogation room and let Jiang Ye handle the questioning?
